The Christmas season is soon approaching. City Union Mission assists over 450 families with gifts for Christmas anually. Read more on how you can help a child's Christmas dream come true.

At the Mission's Presence of Love Store, income-qualified community members can "shop" free, selecting gifts like warm pajamas, gloves, toys and many other items for those they hold dear.

We invite you to adopt a family that represents the families and individuals we'll serve this season. Select the family size you wish to "adopt," then simply purchase items from our recommended gift list shown below and donate them to the Christmas Store.

To make a donation toward the purchase of gifts, please contact  Damita at 816-329-1468. If you would like to donate gifts contact Dena at 816-329-1423, email: Dena@cumission.org.
